Re: really frustrated and dont want to give up

that is the textbook description of a breastfed babies poop that came after several days of no pooping. When I say a consitpated babies poops are usually dry, i mean DRY. hard pellets.

Agreed. One of mine would go days without pooping, but as long as it's still soft and seedy, it's normal, not constipated. They seem so uncomfortable, and as if they're really struggling to get it out, but it's not a constipation issue unless the poop itself is dry and hard. Formula will only complicate the issue, though, and prune juice, especially with a baby that young, is EXTREMELY outdated advice from a doctor.
